Members of the RMT Union are set to walk out between January 5th and 12th as part of an ongoing feud with TFL, which began in March last year

The action comes after the Union, led by Mick Lynch, rejected a 5% pay increase offer from TFL in December

So what's planned this week? A range of different RMT workers who include engineers and signalling staff
0:30
strike on separate days throughout the seven-day period. The most significant disruption will be on
0:34
the 8th and 10th when all of the RMT staff will strike. The industrial action will start at 6pm
0:39
on Friday evening, with 24 hours of walkouts from engineers and maintenance workers. There'll also
0:44
be strikes from RMT workers in the tube's signalling and service control functions on the 9th and 11th

Thankfully, the industrial action will not affect services on the Elizabeth line, whose workers are
0:54
represented by the TSSA. What's clear is the dispute won't be resolved anytime soon
